Bahnwarter Thiel (1988), by far the best story ever written by
Gerhart Hauptmann, follows the principles of the Naturalist
movement in its detailed study of the life and milieu of a humble
and apparently unexceptional Prussian railwayman. Yet in its
exploitation of symbolism, of techniques sometimes close to
Impressionism, and in its subtle use of a changing narrative
perspective, this Novelle goes beyond the essentially 'scientific'
Naturalist approach: Hauptmann thus succeeds in exploring the
complex interaction of suppressed social, psychological,
physiological, and religious impulses far better than in any other
work of this era. This new edition has been prepared with the
changing needs of the today's learners and students of German in
mind. The late S.D. Stirk's scholarly edition of 1952, which also
included Fasching, has seen sterling service, and we are greatly
indebted to it. However, by concentrating on just one story, we
have been able to offer more linguistic help in the notes and
vocabulary, as well as devoting considerably more space in the
introduction to detailed comments on characterisation and
technique. References to other works and to other periods of
Hauptmann's long career as a writer have been kept to a minimum.
